Salad Niçoise

French Classic Recipes

Salad Nicoise, is one of my favorite salads. Complex, rich, satisfying and packed with fabulous ingredients. This is our family variation on it.

Ingredients:

1/4 lb of arugala

1/4lb of mixed baby greens

4 large fresh eggs

I large head of broccoli

1/4 cup of cranberries

2 tbsp sunflower seeds

2 tbsp of pumkin seeds

6 olive oil preserved anchovies

3 or 4 tablespoons of olives

1 cup of cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup of your favorite vinaigrette. We use our honey mustard lemon vinegrette. (see pantry / useful ingredients)

4 slices of gluten free bread toasted

2 tbsp of olive oil

1 tbs of flax seeds

1 tsp of chia seeds

Steps:

1. Soft boil the eggs (3-4 mins)
2. Toast the bread, chop into squares and lightly drizzle with olive oil.
3. Arrange the ingredients in a large salad bowl. You can just toss them together but its fun to arrange them on top of the greens.
4. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve.
